The load-bearing belt is one of the most important fitness equipment. The load-bearing belt can not only enhance your strength, but also provide you with necessary protection to prevent sports injuries, especially to the lumbar spine.

There is evidence that the belt also helps the strength development of the core area of the body, rather than hindering it. One study found that the abdominal muscle activity of the trainer increased by 10% when wearing a belt during the hard pull, while another study recorded that erector spinae's activity increased by 23% during the squat.

Timing: Only use it when doing heavy exercise training. Especially those sports that directly exert weight on the spine, such as squat, bench press, bending over and rowing.
